"this guy is amazing. He has helped me so much with my calisthenic work. Before training with him I had been trying to learn a human flag for years. Litera

lly within the first class he taught me the technique to do it, and I got my first flag within a week. He is extremely knowledgable, and in great shape. Excellent instructor, i highly recommend him to anyone trying to get fit, workout, or just be in better shape. A++++"

"Without Brian I would have quit the game

I came to Brian a complete hacker. I made a promise to myself to either get better or give up. After trying a fe

w other instructors in SD without much success Brian changed my entire opinion on the game. My score dramatically improved and I enjoyed his lessons so much I started taking them weekly.

We have worked on everything from putting to long drives and he has helped me feel comfortable in all aspects of my game.

Additionally, although he wont admit being tech savvy he has the best video equipment I have seen. Its not super fancy but he knows the software so well he can easily point out your flaws in something that is understandable and not overly complex and confusing.

I have referred friends to him as well who have had very similar experiences."

"I have been studying the Chen Style Simplified Form under Gang since January. This is in a class setting at the American Self Defense Club in Flemington,

NJ. I am 62 years old and have a number of health issues including some serious cardiac problems. I felt that Tai Chi would be an excellent way to improve my health. Approximately 25 years ago I studied the Yang Style from an excellent instructor and am fortunate to have found another excellent instructor in Gang.

In addition to teaching us the Chen Style Form, Gang is also teaching us complementary Tai Chi exercises, which not only aid in learning the Form but are extremely useful in their own right. He is extremely patient, understanding that each of us has his or her own physical limitations, and adapts the Form (and exercises) so that we are able to learn it and benefit from it. In addition he spends a lot of time explaining the fundamentals that help us to combine the movements and to understand how physics enters into keeping our balance and moving between forms. No equations though. We are encouraged to provide feedback as to the pace and even the type of Form and exercises we are learning. Gang has a very gentle and encouraging manner and I highly recommend him as an instructor."

I was very happy that he pretty well pin pointed my problem with my voice and I was happy with the practice assigned.

Daniel is awesome!! He really knows how to customize the lesson to your skill level and makes it so that it's easy to learn. I'm already memorizing and learning things that I didn't think I would be able to. I'm really enjoying my lessons and so glad that I signed up. Looking forward to many more lessons from Daniel!

Azuri is a fun teacher!

I love working with Azuri. He is patient and encourages me. Everytime I have a lesson he says something that opens my eyes. It usually just takes that one meaningful statement he says throughout the lesson for the time there to be worth it all. Moreover, he is a great teacher! It's very fun learning from him.

I have wanted to take ASL tutoring for 10 years now; I am stoked to have finally started! I don't know why it has taken me so long to get started, but I feel beyond lucky to have found Eduardo as my tutor! My first lesson felt welcoming and was well planned. Eduardo taught my lesson at a great pace for me after having done a few assessments. I'm thrilled to have assignments and can't wait to begin practicing!

American Sign Language

I’ve always dreamed of learning sign language and when I decided to finally start taking classes, I chose to take private lessons with Eduardo Cardenas because I wanted the lessons to be catered to my learning style and rhythm. It was the best decision I could have made.

Eduardo knew how to encourage me when I needed it but also to push me when he saw fit. Through his classes, I not only learned beginner ASL but also had the opportunity to experience the deaf culture and practice my ASL with other deaf/hard-of-hearing people.

Eduardo is creative in his teaching methods, organized and definitely has a talent for teaching. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning ASL.

Eddie is wonderful and so patient. He has a weath of knowledge and can play anything (from jazz, contemporary, rock, blues, and the list goes on)! What I enjoy the most is that he keeps me on my toes when it come to my lessons and practices. What I also like about Eddie is that he is flexible because I have a busy schedule.

Eddie is great and he comes highly recommended!

I've taken several lessons with Jason and highly recommend him! He is very patient, easy going, and goes at the student's pace. He's a great guitar player and he will work with you to achieve your goal. I leave each lesson learning a few new songs.

Jason is a great teacher, very knowledgeable and patient. I don't have any musical background whatsoever, but he quickly got me started learning to play banjo and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this teacher.

We were new to the whole online, private lesson world and only tried as a test for our 10 yr-old son. He has now been working with Jason for several months now and shows no signs of stopping. Our son is progressing, has gained confidence and still seems to have fun. Jason is on time and if you cannot make a lesson he is flexible in rescheduling if given some notice. Finally, I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much Jason packs into his lessons without overwhelming the student. We highly recommend him!

TJ is a great person and great instructor. He is always enthusiastic and brings a very positive attitude to his teaching. He is willing to work at whatever pace is best for you and spends time personalizing lessons so they're enjoyable yet challenging. I'd definitely recommend him as an instructor.

My daughter is currently taking beginner's piano lessons with TJ. He is extremely patient and encouraging. TJ makes the lessons fun and teaches at a pace that is right for the student. My daughter isn't afraid to ask questions and doesn't feel intimidated when she doesn't understand something. TJ is a great teacher. We couldn't ask for more!
